Barren is my soul
I project skeletal trees
Solace lies within

everlasting great spirit,
eden descends from the sky,
emigrants meek and righteous,
equality’s fantasy
ending discrimination;
evacuation no more —
evil routed through the stars

Eye of the dark storm
Pray for our elevation
Embrace the changes

Quantum field resonances
Calm amidst chaos

Haibun: ‘Isabella’

The sea was writhing at Seahouses. Northumbria wild, voices calling on the wind blown from Hyperborean reaches.

And then you — your skin grey like a seal, matching your eyes, a lantern jaw jutting out like a promontory, unyielding.

So then why are you so kind? Because you are blind, like nature, the tempestuous oceans thrusting, reaching, for just one fleeting sight of your son.

Who brought me this far?
Providence cannot explain
Winter’s existence
